5.0 out of 5 stars Fringe science, or advance breakthru?, July 26, 2006

This review is from: A New Bacteriology (Textbook Binding)

Currently one of the best hard-core mind expanding science texts avail to those who can't wait for "paradigms never change; they merely get abandoned by the next generation whom they no longer serve" to happen. This solid statement of facts not consonant with the current microbiological framework, quietly makes a compelling case against monomorphism which holds that bacteria are classifiable according to the same genetic rules that govern the animal world. They don't, the author says, but morph from form to form (spiral, rod etc) based on the biological terrain, rather than stay fixed like animal species do. More, they morph almost instantly, drawing on the gene-pool of all other living and dead bacteria, using a communication ability that can only be compared to the DDD telephone network.
This puts him in the maverick camp of folks like Royal Rife, Enderlein, Bechamp, V Livingston, some current researchers like Robert Young and Gaston Naessens...and quite outside the pale of men like Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, and the mainstream crowd who today determine what is published in microbiology.
Not a microbiologist myself, while daunted by the jargon and technics, I was nonetheless able to grasp the drift of what this research portends, and the solid footing afforded by the study of micro-objects in their living ecology. This is in stark contrast to the limited world of deliberately (?) ignored or politically-correct theories that that result from limiting observation to exclusively dead tissues (e.g. dried blood, all electronmicroscopy etc).
If you don't mind being viewed as a fringe science investigator, then you'll enjoy this book.
